The Banker - (11/10)

Alexander Isak & Heung-Min Son both to have a shot on target (11/10)

Tottenham may only concede 4.26 shots on target per 90 in the Premier League this season, but Postecoglou’s side are suffering a torrid run of form and have allowed 18 shots on target in their past three games alone.

An early Sunday clash for the Lilywhites is far from ideal given their recent record against the Magpies, Tottenham have lost 6-1 and 4-0 to Eddie Howe’s side in the past two seasons.

The talisman of Newcastle’s recent resurgence to form has been Alexander Isak who has scored in all of his past six Premier League fixtures and is averaging 1.57 shots on target per 90 so far this season, making him great value for this bet.

Despite his recent penalty miss and signs of his abilities waining, Heung-Min Son continues to be Spurs’ most regular taker of shots on target with 1.27 shots on target per 90 this season. 

The Korean has tended to be substituted as of late therefore it may be worth placing this bet on Paddy Power, who offer the super sub bonus, although your odds will slide to below evens.

The Earner - (3/1)

Ismalia Sarr & Cole Palmer to both have a shot on target, Chelsea to have the most shots and corners (3/1)

Chelsea are suffering a sudden slump in their form of late with the Blues suddenly finding themselves winless in their past three Premier League games, with Maresca’s men allowing plenty of shots on their goal in those two losses and one draw.

Ismalia Sarr is Palace’s most regular shot on target taker with 1.44 shots on target per 90 and has taken five shots on target in his past five games alone.

Similarly, Cole Palmer is averaging 1.36 shots on target per 90 this season and has recorded four shots on target in his last two games, despite both ending in a loss for Palmer’s side.

The Blues continue to dominate the amount of shots taken in a game however, with Chelsea averaging 15.63 shots per game, considerably higher than Crystal Palace’s 14.11 shots per game.

As for corners, Chelsea haven’t had fewer corners than their opponent in their previous six Premier League games with their average of 6.11 corners against Crystal Palace’s average of 5 per game making this seem a great addition to this bet builder.

The Long Shot - (21/2)

Mohamed Salah to score, Manuel Ugarte to be booked & both teams to score - no (21/2)

Salah is scoring at an almost incomprehensible rate, with the Egyptian netting 17 goals in 18 starts. The Egyptian has scored for three games in a row now and will be confident of extending that run to four against a Manchester United side, who Salah has scored five goals against in his previous five clashes.

Manuel Ugarte has started all bar three of the games he has been available for since Ruben Amorim has taken over the Red Devils but has a track record of picking up yellow cards, with the Urguayan picking up five bookings in just eight starts. This fixture typically has plenty of needle and Ugarte is a clear suspect to pick up a booking, just ensure the midfielder has returned to the team as expected before placing the bet, alternatively, Martinez and Mainoo are similarly good options to be booked.

Manchester United have struggled to find the back of the net all season with only four other team in the Premier League recording fewer goals after 19 games than the Red Devils.

Amorim’s men have failed to score in all of their past three games, all of which have ended in defeat, that record is unlikely to improve against a Liverpool side who have the joint-best defensive record in the league.

The Accumulator - (9/1)

Bournemouth, Arsenal, Liverpool & Nottingham Forest all to win (9/1)

Everton have been the masters at grinding out draws. However, Nottingham Forest finally broke their resolve, and the Toffees don’t travel well. Sean Dyche’s side has only picked up a single victory away from home in nine attempts. Bournemouth are on an impressive eight-game unbeaten run and could climb further up the table with a victory in this Saturday clash.

Arsenal are starting to try and put the pressure back on Liverpool with three straight victories. Their opponents, Brighton, are secretly suffering with eight games without a victory, the Gunners could avenge their controversial draw from the start of the season with a win at the Amex.

Liverpool continue to appear unstoppable this season with an emphatic 5-0 win against West Ham showing that the Reds are the team to beat this season. Their opponents for Sunday, Manchester United, are however the team that can’t stop being beaten this season with Amorim’s side tasting their third straight defeat against Newcastle.

Liverpool also have an outstanding record of late against United, with the Reds not losing to Manchester United in any of their past four Premier League meetings with their rivals.

Nottingham Forest are currently the best form team in the Premier League with five straight wins, who would have believed that at the start of the season? Nuno’s side look a great option at 11/8 away to Wolves who are enjoying a new manager bounce but were perhaps fortunate to snatch a late point against Tottenham in their last game.
